About our China Human Rights news

Latest news on latest human rights developments in China. We cover a range of topics, including reports of human rights abuses, efforts by activists and organisations to promote and defend human rights, government policies and laws impacting human rights, and international reactions to human rights issues in China.

One of the key issues we cover is the situation in Xinjiang, where there have been widespread reports of human rights abuses against the Uyghur minority, including allegations of forced labour. The Chinese government has been criticized by international organizations and governments for its treatment of the Uyghurs, and there have been calls for action to address the situation.

Our news is brought to you automatically and continuously from various sources, with articles appearing on our page within around 10 minutes of publication. We strive to provide the most accurate and comprehensive coverage of human rights in China.
